Has anyone tried cutting a hole in a wine bottle with this?

I thought about cutting a hole in a wine bottle but I think it would be pretty tricky, you could do it but it would be difficult because it needs a flat surface to stabilize it. I bought this to cut a hole in the bottom of a glass decanter and I gave up (probable because I lack patience) but it was moving around a lot more than I had hoped.

Absolutely. The metal cutter has to be squeezed and may be a little tough if you have arthritis in fingers on both hands but the corkscrew just involves pressing a button and holding the wine bottle.

Actually the thicker the wine bottle the better. I put a piece of carpet material down and as I turn the bottle this pivots it. I also learned how to cut the glass rings on my own. A light score then dip in boiling water for approximately 60 seconds then in ice water. Every one of mine except for the first one has been perfect.

They should, no guarantees and it might be a little tight, especially in wine bottles, but I've seen it done successfully.

Even if it was possible, to do a wall of glass like you suggest would go through many blades and a great many hours of time. Why not buy the right tool for the right job? ($30) Do an Amazon search for Ephrem's Bottle and Jar Cutter. I've been using one since 1972 and it works great. It scratches (scores) the glass, you heat with a candle, rub ice cube on the scored line and bingo, you have a cut bottle. In a minute.

Paul, i have one and its scores perfectly (with a bit pf practice, of course) i cut all kinds of bottles -wine, liqueur, soda - but this is to score it not slice through. I have found that it matters on the quality of glass your scoring. Beer bottles are about the lowest quality of glass you can use. I can get maybe one bottle to score/cut properly for my uses out of far too many. And don't use that tap thingy. Just use the hot cold water 'stress' method and the results are very promising. Yet this all take practice and a good recycle bin in the interm.

not really but sort of.........I use the pointed end of the cork pop and tear the foil then peal it off with my finger. Works fine....best opener I've ever had and I've had them all!

Hi Megan,I never thought to try it on a pop bottle. It actually looks very much like a bottle opener though. Don't have any on hand to try it. But it has become my favorite kitchen tool for opening those difficult vacuum packed jars like sauerkraut, gravy, pasta sauce, etc. It's a snap! Everyone that sees it wants one. I'm starting a trend around here. Now my other sister-in-law wants one!

Yes. Set the rip fence to the length you want then feed the bottle into the blade until it cuts to the inside then rotate the bottle to cut around it. If you rotate too fast or do not keep the bottle square to the blade, it will break before you finish the cut. Wear gloves and goggles. Small, sharp shards are produce.

With this paticular kit you won't need to cut/drill the bottle at all. The electrical cord runs out of the top of the electrical device and it will run down the outside of the bottle.

Sorry, I can't answer that. I have used it only to drill holes in glass bottles and it works very well for that.

Absolutely. It is the best wine opener I have ever used. I had tried an electric one before but was not satisfied; I then tried one of the gas powered ones (injects CO2 into bottle and forces the cork out from pressure), which worked well, but I was forever having to go buy more cartridges to keep it working. This one is simply superb--real cork, artificial cork, anything. You will be pleased with it.

I haven't tried it but there is extra room, you have to sort of pinch the cutter when opening regular bottles so I'm guessing it would work on larger bottles.

I wouldn't. It's made of plastic and don't know what would leech into the wine...

That's why I bought it to etch wine glasses But sorry to say I haven't tried it Good luck

I have NOT. Having said that, I would guess that cutting one of these would be pretty difficult -- they are pretty thick/heavy duty.

If you have a pair of really good scissors you can cut into the bottle and get the last bit out. It takes some work, but can be done. I have done this a few times, and have gotten a couple more days out at least.
